"Fanaticism in the name of religion seems to be the great temptation of the age. It is religion without integrity: misled, misguided, angry, insolent, vindictive, hateful, vengeful. It is a crusade in the name of God to rid the earth of all infidels and unbelievers who dare defile the rare atmosphere of heady faith. Dissent is not tolerated. Intelligence is frowned upon unless it is dogmatic and closed. Disturbing questions, clear thinking and common sense are thought to be irreverent, insolent and disrespectful of proper authority."
-- Paul D. Simmons
